I am always amazed how shrimp in one tank can love a certain type of food but the same shrimp in a different tank hate it.

Strange... all my TBs are ravenous! They'll tear up blanched spinach and algae wafers like there's no tomorrow. I'll have to make a nice video to show you guys .

I have the Laguna pond barely and straw pellets, about $9 for a few pound bag that will last a lifetime and all my shrimp go nuts over them. Get my biggest shrimp balls with them.

Yeah, my shrimp will eat a pellet in about 5 minutes flat when it comes to borneowild barley.

My shrimp never eat the barley pellets! I always just see snails on the food dish when I drop in barley.

While having my morning coffee on this lazy Sunday, I sat there observing my tank for a good 30 minutes. I just want to stress the importance of sponge filters since these two Ruby Reds only hang out on the filters and driftwood. When I throw food in they go to it but for the most part they like the sponge filters.

I have one of these + a sponge prefilter on one of my AquaClears.

Hey all. I took some new shots today. It's been about a week since I've added these two but they seem to be doing just great.

One thing that I do not understand about my Sony videocamera is why it changes the color as soon as I hit the "shoot" button...in other words, it's zoomed in perfectly but then it changes the color 1 second before the pic is taken.

Some nice shiny shells...

So I just purchased some regular tigers that were raised in lower PH and will be dropping them in this tank. Hopefully they survive and can interbreed with all the other shrimp that are housed in this same aquarium (taiwan bees, crs, cbs, goldens). I have no concrete goal here...I just want some odd mixes.
